They believe it may be some kind of extra-terrestrial life that is behind the whole thing; only question is are they are hostile or not. Spine-tingling and hauntingly frightening; big action and explosions are not necessary, for in the similar style of Hitchcock does M.Night Shymalayan slowly build up the suspense that is nothing short of heart pounding.

After she and her father meet their neighbors, The Vuoso's, Jasira babysits their son, Zach and becomes attracted to his father Travis. But she likes to be with fellow classmate Thomas Bradley and becomes sexually active with him. It isn't until her female neighbor Melina becomes concerned about Jasira hanging around with Travis does she find out that he raped her. A disturbing and controversial drama, at times funny but mostly extremely uncomfortable to watch.
